PC, I think they advertise there pretty regularly. I know the first promo I saw for TV's Hit Drive was during Dirt on FX.
Fire bad. Tree pretty.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Okay, I lost my last post as I'm a technology spaz, but just to say they aren't yet targeting Bones. There's still 60 days to go, though, so that will likely change closer to the time.
They are going after promotion much more aggressively than I'd expected. There's still a long way to go until launch, and they need to get things like cross network promo and new media stuff going. But if I had to say, so far, how are they doing? Easily the best promotional efforts I've seen for a Tim (or Joss) show before, in my opinion.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Wednesday night Mr. Jane and I were talking about shows we really love, and it's mostly down to Heroes and FNL, with a dash of VM, but Mr. Jane suddenly brightened up and said, "But, soon we'll have TV's Hit Drive!"
Adorkable.

I have yet to see a promo. I fast forward through commercials takes moment to bow to the TiVo gods (speaking of, how funny was the TiVo prayer on HIMYM last week), so I'm unspoiled. And excited.

What is even happening?
Daisy, he's calling it 'TV's Hit, Drive', too? Oh, yes, much love.

He is! I didn't even have to prompt him.

If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak.
I've mentioned "TV's Hit Drive" to as many of my coworkers as I can and they've all seen the promos. This is quite unlike the pre-debut marketing of Tim's previous shows. None of my coworkers had any idea what a "Wonderfalls" was.
Better yet, the response to the promos is very positive. Several coworkers are planning on tuning in. Fox just needs to keep pumping those promos out there so people that aren't us don't forget about it before April.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
OMG how I totally loved the Tivo prayer, and that whole episode. Although I was disappointed that they didn't patch in the actual winner of the game, I thought the whole episode was completely brilliant.
What thread? Oh. Yeah.
I'm glad to see there's marketing oomph behind TV's hit Drive and I think it has real potential for there to be broad appeal. Therefore, I expect no scoffing of the mainstream non-fannish fans who come here to discuss the comparative qualities of the cars' various engines.

Would someone be kind enough to transcribe this for me? I feel certain that Eli, the author of the Buffista Spoiler Prayer, would be intrigued.
